Price: $129,000What would've happened if Tesla went horribly awry? Ask Henrik Fisker. His Fisker Automotive had celebrity backing and, in 2008, actually fended off a lawsuit from Tesla and pried $1.1 million out of Elon Musk's company. That's where the wins ceased, however, as its A123 batteries kept failing. A123's bankruptcy in 2012 didn't help, nor did the destruction of its entire European shipment of 388 cars by Superstorm Sandy later that year. The company crumbled in 2013 and was sold to a Chinese buyer in 2014. Last year, though, Henrik Fisker launched Fisker Inc. and devised plans for what would become the EMotion. The sleek sports car has a purported electric range of 400 miles and a top speed of 161 mph. There are autonomous driving features embedded in the vehicle for future activation and a panoramic sunroof for more immediate gratification. But why take a gamble on a brand that has faltered before? Because the deposit is only $2,000.Read More:Henrik Fisker's All-New $129,000 Electric Car Will Debut at CES 2018 in January
